A crowd gathered at the Garden of Remembrance on Parnell Square and marched to Dáil Éireann to protest over language rights and equality for the Irish language.

The march was coordinated Conradh na Gaeilge.

Donnchadh Ó hAodha, President of Conradh na Gaeilge said: " Conradh na Gaeilge extends its deepest thanks to the thousands that took to the streets of Dublin to take a stand for language rights, and to show the Governments north and south just how much support the language enjoys among the general public this Saturday, despite the atrocious weather across the country this past week. "

The crowd wore red clothes and waved red flags to show their disillusionment with the lack of Government support for Irish today.
